North Plainfield residents and Borough employees, aged 18 years and older, are eligible to participate in any adult sport/program that is offered. You must present proof of residency or Borough employment.

 

Free Senior Citizens Program

Seniors, aged 60 years and older, will be eligible to participate in any Recreation Department sponsored sports/programs for FREE. To be eligible to participate, you must first obtain a Photo ID from the Recreation Department, located at 93 Greenbrook Road. Proof of residency/employment and age are required. Please call 908-756-0247 to make an appointment for a Photo ID. Appointments are required. Once you receive your card, it is yours to be used as FREE admission to any of our sports/programs.

Our “Free” Senior Citizens Program is a privilege, not a right.

Transfer or misuse of cards will result in loss of privileges.

 

Children

We prefer, when possible, that children are not brought to the adult programs. We recognize there may be circumstances beyond your control and you must bring them with you. If this is the case, please understand that they MAY NOT participate or wander around the building and must stay in the room quietly and not cause disruptions. Please be mindful that this is an adult program. Some adults may have left their children home to get “me” time. Please be respectful of other participants. 

 

 

We wish you a lot of fun, entertainment, and exercise!
